Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Neutron star, Black hole and Spectral line. Astrophysics is closely attributed to X-ray in his study. His Neutron star study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cataclysmic variable star, White dwarf, Eddington luminosity, Stellar evolution and Magnetosphere.

Walter H. G. Lewin studied Black hole and Emission spectrum that intersect with Spectrometer and Angular momentum. His work on Astronomical spectroscopy as part of his general Spectral line study is frequently connected to Z source, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. He interconnects Globular cluster, Radius and Cluster in the investigation of issues within Luminosity.

His most cited work include:

  • Compact Stellar X-ray Sources (2451 citations)
  • X-RAY BINARIES (554 citations)
  • X-ray bursts (538 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Walter H. G. Lewin spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, X-ray, Neutron star and Spectral line. The study of Astrophysics is intertwined with the study of X-ray astronomy in a number of ways. In the field of X-ray, his study on X ray spectra overlaps with subjects such as Materials science, High energy and Spectrum analysis.

His research in Neutron star intersects with topics in Amplitude, Stellar evolution, Radius and Effective temperature. His study in Spectral line is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Absorption spectroscopy, Black hole and Black-body radiation. The various areas that Walter H. G. Lewin examines in his Globular cluster study include Observatory and Cluster.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (92.58%)
  • Astronomy (45.10%)
  • X-ray (32.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2012)?

  • Astrophysics (92.58%)
  • Astronomy (45.10%)
  • Neutron star (23.67%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Neutron star, Luminosity and Globular cluster are his primary areas of study. His Spectral line research extends to the thematically linked field of Astrophysics. In his research on the topic of Neutron star, Equivalent width and Accretion rate is strongly related with Low Mass.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Swift, Power law, X-ray transient and ROSAT in addition to Luminosity. His Globular cluster research integrates issues from Cataclysmic variable star, X-ray, Radius, Cluster and Observatory. The concepts of his Black hole study are interwoven with issues in Line, Light curve, Orbital period and Emission spectrum.

Between 2003 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Compact Stellar X-ray Sources (2451 citations)
  • The evolution of the timing properties of the black-hole transient GX 339-4 during its 2002/2003 outburst (351 citations)
  • Chandra/High energy transmission grating spectrometer spectroscopy of the galactic black hole GX 339-4: a relativistic iron emission line and evidence for a Seyfert-like warm absorber (159 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Luminosity, X-ray binary and Neutron star. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Spectral line and Astrophysics. His work in Astronomy tackles topics such as Gamma ray which are related to areas like Black-body radiation, Type II supernova, Annihilation and Galactic plane.

His Luminosity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Power law, Radius and X-ray transient. His X-ray binary research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cosmology and X-ray. His studies in Neutron star integrate themes in fields like Low Mass, Effective temperature and Accretion rate.
